HowHaus

Custom furniture starts here.

HowHaus operates from a workshop in the industrial stretch of North Brooklyn, where sawdust and quiet ambition mix. The address is straightforward: a nondescript bay behind chain-link fencing that most passersby overlook. Yet behind those roll-up doors, tables, chairs, and built-ins take shape from raw planks and precise joinery. No showroom glitz—just the steady rhythm of makers who prefer dovetails to deadlines.

Clients bring sketches or vague ideas; the shop turns them into heirloom pieces. A walnut dining table, a white-oak bookshelf, or a reclaimed-pine bed frame—each project begins with a conversation and ends with a signature hand-rubbed finish. The work leans toward modern lines but never sacrifices function for form. Phone calls at (914) 309-0764 put you directly in touch with the people who will plane, sand, and assemble every board.

Brooklyn’s furniture scene has long favored small-scale makers over mass-produced imports. HowHaus fits neatly into that tradition, offering one-off commissions without the gallery markup. Directions to the workshop are best pulled from a map—here’s the pin—so you can plan the quickest route past the potholes and delivery trucks.
